The lattice-tree and lattice-animal finite-size scaling profile conjecture

Lattice trees and lattice animals are finite connected subgraphs and acyclic connected subgraphs, respectively, of the lattice. On the torus Trd\mathbb{T}_r^d with volume V=rdV=r^d, let Gr,z(x)G_{r,z}(x) denote the two-point function, let Gzc(x)G_{z_c}(x) denote its infinite-volume critical counterpart, let χr(z)\chi_r(z) denote the susceptibility, and let I0I_0 be the rescaled profile introduced in the paper. For d>8d>8, there are constants ad<0a_d<0 and bd>0b_d>0, different for trees and animals, such that, as V=rdV=r^d\to\infty,

Gr,zc+sV1/2(x)Gzc(x)bdV3/4I0(ads),G_{r,z_c+sV^{-1/2}}(x)-G_{z_c}(x)\sim b_dV^{-3/4}I_0(a_ds), χr(zc+sV1/2)bdV1/4I0(ads).\chi_r(z_c+sV^{-1/2})\sim b_dV^{1/4}I_0(a_ds).

Lattice-tree and lattice-animal profile conjecture. The same critical finite-size scaling profile I0I_0 occurs for both lattice trees and lattice animals on Trd\mathbb{T}_r^d above the upper critical dimension. This is motivated by the corresponding profile for trees and connected subgraphs on the complete graph and by the expected high-dimensional behaviour of lattice trees and animals; the claim remains conjectural in the stated setting.
